A powdered and liquid chemical distribution system for distributing powdered and liquid chemicals. The system includes a transport module having a plurality of chambers arranged in series to automatically distribute both a powdered chemical and a liquid chemical to a point of use along a single line, wherein the plurality of chambers share a chamber wall.

Powdered and liquid chemical dispensing and distribution system

A method for distributing powdered and liquid chemicals. The method includes introducing water into an upper end of a measuring chamber, injecting liquid chemical through an inlet located at a lower end of the measuring chamber into a chemical chamber that is fluidly coupled to a lower end of the measuring chamber until a desired volume of the liquid chemical has been introduced, pumping the desired volume of liquid chemical and at least some of the water to a washer, inserting water and a desired dose of a powdered chemical into the upper end of the measuring chamber, and transporting the powdered chemical and at least some of the water to the washer.

The chemical distribution system () includes at least a first chamber that is fluidly coupled to a second chamber below it, which is in turn fluidly coupled to a manifold below it. In use, water and a powdered chemical are introduced into the first chamber. Liquid chemicals, however, are injected into the second chamber through multiple chemicals inlets in the second chamber. A pressure sensor fluidly coupled to the first chamber is used to accurately measure dosages of the liquid chemical. Once the accurate dosages have been determined, the powdered and/or liquid chemicals are distributed through one of multiple manifold outlets and along a single line ((),()) to one of multiple washing machines ((),()).
